Github user mateiz commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/1658#issuecomment-52112757 Hey, sorry for taking a bit of time to get back to this (I've been looking at 1.1 stuff), but I have a few comments on the API: - Do we need both a stream API and a byte array one? I'd personally offer only the stream one because it's less likely to cause crashes (with the other one there's a risk of OutOfMemoryError). - For the files vs fixed-length records, maybe we can call the methods `binaryFiles` and `binaryRecords`. - Are you planning to create saveAsBinaryFiles / saveAsBinaryRecords too? We don't have to have it in this PR but it would be useful.
